As of noon Tuesday, Four storm-related deaths have occurred in the city of Orange. Enmon said two deaths were caused by electrocution, one death resulted from drowning and another was a hospice patient on dialysis. Names of the victims where not released. Two other deaths were suffered in the city but were deemed to be caused by medical conditions.
